Do not make OOC comments about the design here, for OOC comments go to

Now when you say "my gun is bigger" you won't be lying!

I suggest you look up the word "recoil" in the dictionary.

Phoenix Dynamix is well aware of the effects of recoil caused by high powered rounds, as it pioneered the .450 assault rifle. And it is also aware of dampening methods, just as the makers of these weapons are:

There is recoil dampening and then there is trying to fire a .50BMG round from a weapon that weights the same as most assault rifles

OOC thread

Axis Nova agrees with the esteemed nation of Strathdonia. We do not see how this weapon could possibly be of any use to anyone due to it's recoil issues.

I wish people on my ignore list would stop spamming my IC threads with poorly disguised OOC comments. I am offerning this to the international market, if you don't like it don't buy it. And cut out the spam.
